Ps. by replying to an existing message your message will appear in the
thread of Mata questions, and people who may know the answer to your
question may know very little about Mata and just ignore your question.
So it is in your own interest to sent a new message as a new message.
Pps. a word in all capital letters is often considerd shouting and bad
manners. Anyhow, the fact that you sent us a question already implies
that you want help, so there is no need to further emphasize that.
